This way: Father/ Daughter Dialogue
No holds were barred. Loudon's 1975 album Unrequited ends with the famous Rufus is a Tit Man ("So put Rufus on the left one/And put me on the right/And like Romulus and Remus/We'll suck all night'). In his song That Hospital, Loudon sings about visiting a hospital with Kate in 1976 for an abortion. She didn't go through with it. "The little girl that was born there/That escaped that scrape with fate/A few months ago in Montreal, I watched her graduate." That little girl was their daughter, Martha Wainwright.
Loudon and Kate inevitably split up and the children grew up with Kate in Canada. Loudon had a relationship with the singer Suzzy Roche but again things didn't work out. In his song Your Mother and I, he tries to explain to his daughter from that relationship, Lucy, exactly what went wrong: "Your mother and I are living apart/I know it seems stupid, but we weren't very smart."
